Ocean runs off to AC 2016 and ends the con in a hotel room sitting around with other authors, editors and publishers. The gloves are off, the drinks are out and we’re ready to unwind and shoot the breeze. As usual, there’s an explicit advisory warning with our SWS shows. Otherwise, enjoy!

Characters, plots and themes are all important but all require glue to put them together. We discuss that glue which is known as the aspects of writing technically well: sentence and paragraph structure, grammar, word choice, punctuation, etc. How can you learn to write technically well and how will it help your stories? To help tackle this topic we bring on Sofawolf editor, Fugue, to sit down with us and discuss.

Fugue’s editing can be found in various works sold through Sofawolf Press

This week’s episode is all about balancing your writing life, with your working one. Bonus topics include: What makes writing racist/prejudice, authors who are/were racist/prejudice, and various insights into our convoluted lives.

This week we talk about the niche we write in: furry. The “bubble” that surrounds our niche among others, how to push out, how to look in. Are we really as different and unique as we think we are? How do others see us?

Suspend your disbelief this week with Ocean, Yanarra, and Tarl! We disccuss how far you can walk that suspension bridge of disbelief and what will cause it to collapse. Listen as the crew relays Roland’s well thought out notes and be dismayed by his lack of counter-arguments!
